ACTIVITY BREAKDOWN
Motorcade travel for golf outing
The provided roll call documents a recreational golf outing on 2025-11-30, with departure from Mar-a-Lago at 9:32 AM, arrival at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach at 9:39 AM, departure from the club at 1:41 PM, and return to Mar-a-Lago at 1:49 PM. Using the benchmark for short local presidential motorcade trips, this assigns $5,000 each way for the two golf-related ground movements.
Off-site Secret Service and staff for leisure day
Because the President spent a substantial part of the day off-site at Mar-a-Lago and his golf club for documented recreational activity, this record applies the methodology’s peak off-site Secret Service and staff benchmark of $300,000 for the day.
Local law-enforcement assist
The Palm Beach-area golf outing and associated presidential motorcade movements are consistent with local police support and traffic-control activation, so this record applies the Palm Beach benchmark of about $60,000 for local law-enforcement assistance.
Return flight from Palm Beach to Washington
The roll call shows departure from Palm Beach International Airport at 3:44 PM and arrival at Joint Base Andrews at 5:29 PM, a flight time of about 1 hour 45 minutes. Using the VC-25A benchmark of $177,843 per flight hour with no additional support factor specified for this domestic leg, the estimated flight cost is $311,225.
